To me, dragging is just an expensive pissing competition I know plenty of cars that do (relatively) slow times on the 1/4 due to traction issues, yet more than shit all over the AWD guys on the road.

What AWD car(s) beat FWD/RWD cars on the track and then lose to them convincingly on the street?* examples ?


* Comparison excludes WRX's.

Are you saying theres say, a 13 sec FWD car that shits all over a 12 sec AWD car on the street? Surely you jest?

I heard a fj20et did over 600rwhp but it could only do one run as something went wrong.

He is probably referring to a rolling start on the street...

Dale just made 466 in the T/C Rotary class, although I think there was a 20B that made 570.

Congrats to Dale (10Sec_RX7) anyway! Nice work! :D

Yeah the spark plugs melted into the head

So who/what took out the turbo V8 class?

[NXTIME]

Excellent work, Dale. Congrats.

bretts black VH commodore averaging around 1340hp@wheels. I think best run was 1356hp or there abouts. Eddy only ran 1110 on average i think. I cant remember exactly but im withing about 10hp on both. N/A small block pulled 730hp which was F*#kin amazing. On the last run the rev limiter was taken off and it spun ~9000rpm. The same guys also ran a XY with what they called the "shitta" engine and came second with 490hp. But because i was at the dyno finals i missed who won grand champion.?

APS weren't running their ute because it still has a dodgy tranny after their last drag meet. Aparently there was another XR6T ready to have a go but it was caught with a NOS syem and not allowed to run.

Their Capri that took out the N/A V8 class has the motor that they had in the Silver Fox XW last year. The XW now has a more streetable motor with a toploader, which came 2nd.

dragos green gemini took grand champ

[matlennon]

on a side note i totally forgot to mention, the jake edwards performance turbo V8 walkinshaw caugth fire. It had spun up ~760hp then parked to the side to watch the final two and someone tried to take a fuel sample from the fuel line while the car was still hot and it caught on fire. Yep manswetto racing were the guys who took out top two smallblock n/a. Was excellent to watch the big blocks though. Very close competition with the 454 HQ ute being beaten for the first time in 5 years by a 454 LC.

thanks guys,

Made 463 on the last run with the boost controller hitting the over boost shutdown and pulled the boost back to 8psi half way through the run luckly it came back up at about 7000rpm and peaked, with it running the right boost through the whole rev range it would have made around 475,

big thanks to
